    my coworker who has dark skin and I can only assume is black (IDK I have not actually asked him) told me today that he likes Harris when we were talking about the headlines

    possibly just a coincidence

      Then you don’t know what real racism looks like.

      Take a look at what real people see as racist, I have shared posts where people call them out.

          Oh, thanks for letting me know!

          I need to message the mods.

          I can’t see what was labeled racist, so not too sure what is it.

          Real racism vs. things labeled “racist” on forums can differ a great deal.

              Oh, that one!

              I disagree.

              It showed that all politicians are for the status quo, except their skin color might be a different shade.

              Some on the activist would call them uncle toms.

                  What is and is not racist on the internet changes a lot.

                  Forums are always quick to call people racist or use other smears as a way to censor opposition and diverse ideas.

                  I know Lemmy World is really into self-censorship so as to create a self-constructed echo chamber, but I am not sure if it is by design or by accident.

                  That is why I am here to break the echo chamber and share my diverse ideas, even if I get smeared or downvoted.

                  Many black activists have gone through much worse than being banned or smeared on forums.

      You are not using these words correctly.

      Just because you do not agree with the post does not make it shitposting or trolling.

      Definition:

      In Internet slang, a troll is a person who posts inflammatory, insincere, digressive, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, a newsgroup, forum, chat room, online video game, or blog, with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses, or manipulating others’ perception.
